Description

Do you know how long an elephant mother carries her baby before birth? Have you ever wondered if you can communicate with elephants, or what their favorite food really is? If these questions spark your curiosity, join us for a meaningful half-day in an elephant paradise. Spend time up close with these gentle giants—feed them, walk alongside them, and observe their playful, naughty, and affectionate personalities in a natural setting. Enjoy special moments like walking together and bath time, and don’t forget your camera—these memories are priceless. We’ll also prepare an authentic Thai meal for you to enjoy. To complete your cultural experience, take part in a hands-on activity making a traditional Thai herbal inhaler. Create your own and take it home as a small but meaningful souvenir. More than just an experience—it’s a chance to slow down, connect, and build a genuine friendship with one of the world’s most remarkable animals, while feeling the warmth and culture of Thailand.

Day with Elephants

Great day spent with the Elephants, interactive . Great informative guides, basic lunch included . Only negative, was the drive to the Park. Driver did not speak English and the transportation Van used, needed shocks....very uncomfortable drive out to the Park.

Great experience!

Had a great time at the sanctuary. The guides were amazing and well informed. We did a thai inhaler workshop and then moved onto feeding the elephants, watching them take a mud bath while walking down a path with them. We also saw where they sleep and helped bathe them! Wonderful experience!

Lovely way to see Elephants

Whilst a lovely experience, the maximum nuber of 20 was exceeded, felt nearer 35. Very knowledgeable guides and nice to see elephants enjoying mud baths, food and water. The lunch was nice and even catered for special diets. We have experienced a sanctuary in Koh Samui, (which we prefered). Thank you for a nice morning
